BARCELONA KNITS PATTERN

During the first edition of Barcelona Knits, when presenting your ticket at the box office, we gave the pattern of the Vicens shawl designed by @luymou. Download it for free here.

Lucia Ruiz de Aguirre Rodríguez, AKA @luymou, is a crochet designer from A Coruña. She has designed an exclusive pattern only for this fair, crocheted with La Bien Aimée Merino Singles in a special color, also created exclusively for Barcelona Knits. We just want to see millions of Vicens’ Shawls all over the world!

ABOUT VICENS’ SHAWL

When I was asked to design this commemorative shawl for the yarn festival, I saw it clear that it had to be a garment that represented the city, and there is nothing more representative of Barcelona than modernism, and no one represents it as internationally as Gaudi does. So I resorted to my favourite piece by the architect, which happens to be one of his less well-known ones, the Vicens House, as I rediscovered its triangle-shaped ceramic veneering, that reminded me of the lotus flowers.

Lucía.
